Made to Measure Tonneau Covers in Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon Boating Community

The Stratford Canal and River Avon near Stratford-upon-Avon attract a wide range of boat types — from traditional narrowboats and wide-beams to day boats and hire-fleet cruisers. Our tonneau covers are made without reference to model specifications — we work from your existing cover as a cutting pattern, so a precise replica is possible for any hull shape, no matter how unusual or vintage.

We receive orders from Stratford-upon-Avon boat owners who have struggled to source covers for older or uncommon boats from mainstream suppliers. Because we use the original cover as our template rather than a database of standard patterns, a bespoke copy from us fits better than any off-the-shelf alternative. Whether your boat lives on the Stratford Canal or spends time on the River Avon, the cover we make will be cut to your boat's exact profile.

Tonneau Covers Prices for Stratford-upon-Avon Boat Owners

Custom tonneau covers for inland waterway boats start from £329 — no VAT charged. A straightforward day-boat tonneau sits at the lower end of the range; a complex aft-cockpit cover with multiple tie-down points, zips, or integral fender pockets costs a little more. All prices include UK-wide tracked delivery and stainless steel or bungee fixings. We can also repair existing tonneau covers from £89.

For Stratford-upon-Avon boat owners mooring on the Stratford Canal, our no-VAT pricing represents a saving of at least £66 on a starting-price tonneau cover compared to a VAT-registered supplier — and often considerably more on larger or more complex covers.

Marine Fabrics & Materials

We make tonneau covers in heavy-duty marine PVC (best for permanent mooring and winter storage) or marine acrylic (preferred for breathability on live-aboard boats). Both fabrics are UV-resistant and waterproof, with double-sewn seams and anti-wick thread throughout. Fixings are heavy-duty press studs or bungee cord loops chosen to match your boat's existing deck hardware, so no drilling is required.

For Stratford-upon-Avon boats mooring year-round on the Stratford Canal, the choice between PVC and acrylic usually comes down to whether breathability (acrylic) or maximum waterproofing (PVC) is the priority — Ryan is happy to advise based on your specific mooring and how frequently you use the boat.
